	A self-organized, phototunable 3D photonic superstructure\&nbsp;is fabricated from a photoresponsive 1D liquid crystal using microfluidics. The resulting microshells are water{\textendash}oil{\textendash}water double emulsions, in which the oil phase consists of the photoresponsive liquid crystals. The cholesteric microshells exhibit band-edge lasing in all directions, and the wavelength of the resultant band-edge laser is tuned via the pumping laser, causing photoisomerization of the chiral molecular switch.
